[PASSED] Prevention of Identity Theft

[Neibeskiya]

OFFICIAL:Well,i dont think that such a proposal down to daily activities of our citizens is a way to counter Identity Theft.If such large amounts of Data are stored collectively then thats really not a good thing as hacking,corruption,intrusion into the compound etc could happen.
UNOFFICIAL:Well being a Autocratic regime i dont like the proposal at all,even if the real flaws are fixed,Member States should be given the ability to moderate and control the Internet for the countries own benefit.Creating a mandatory International Organization isn't a good Idea according to me.

But it still look's like its goona pass,so i think i should start creating OTHER ways to spy on my citizens and other nations.

Better would be to simply make banks liable for all identity theft. then they'll find a way to solve it if they want to still have clients

Hear, hear!
The idea of a centralized identity database is asking for trouble.

Also, "boosting police and military budgets" is wasteful and ineffective without addressing education and awareness among the population first. If our citizens are well-informed about ways of keeping their data secure, there'll be no need for a large administrative apparatus as this resolution implies. "Prevention is better than cure".

Ah, thanks for clarifying.

I agree with the idea of boosting the budgets for law enforcement and military funds. Law enforcement is critical due to their job of enforcing laws. Where would a country be without laws. Increasing the budget to these topics would increase pay, equipment, and training. With the increase of pay a government can receive more recruits and thrive. Unfortunately, with so much funding focused on these topics other topics would start to have issues. A raise in taxes may be necessary. Also, property tax could potentially increase because of the need for military installations. Unfortunately, I do not agree with this because there are so many loopholes and flaws in this. Let me know what you think.

I agree with all points. Especially point 5. If we can outlaw this then many pre existing issues will be fixed. Thank you for bringing this to the attention of the World Assembly!

"The Strange Reality is unable to comply with this resolution. The resolution states that '[l]aw enforcement organizations in member states and member state governments are given full access to all of WAID's identity data within their nation'. However, the Strange Reality is surrounded by a permanent force field which prevents information from the WAID from reaching our nation in any form. This means that we are unable to have 'full access to all of WAID's identity data'. This further makes us unable to comply as the resolution states that 'any individual that believes themselves to be a victim of identity theft and other agencies may submit their information to the database'; identity theft is a relatively common occurence in our nation, and it is impossible for those within the force field to send information to the WAID."

"Your resolution has been officially wanked."
